Personally
I too decided to take the personality test (linked on Mark’s blog).
Here are my results:
Your personality is actually determined by two personality sub-types: your primary, or dominant sub-type, and your secondary sub-type. You are a Chosen One which means you are a Golden / Seeker. Your primary sub-type is defined by “Golden” characteristics and your secondary sub-type is defined by “Seeker” characteristics.
That means you’re warm, giving, knowing, and patient. Chances are you’re not afraid to actively pursue your goals and dreams. As if all that weren’t enough, you pretty much set the standard for emotional health by being filled with positive feelings and energy.
As thoughtful as you are, there’s still a more spontaneous, adventure-seeking side of you. That combined with your ever-present curiosity leads to a particularly high energy level that people both envy, and want to have around them.
My results from a personality test …
Introspective
Sensitive
Reflective
You come to grips more frequently and thoroughly with yourself and your environment than do most people. You detest superficiality; you’d rather be alone than have to suffer through small talk. But your relationships with your friends are very strong, which gives you the inner tranquility and harmony that you require. You do not mind being alone for extended periods of time; you rarely become bored.
Here’s Leighton’s quiz … my results:
| “It is the chiefest point of happiness that a man is willing to be what he is.” |
| You are Desiderius Erasmus! You have great love for others and will do just about anything to show it to them. You are tolerant and avoid confrontations, so people generally are drawn to you. You are more quiet and reserved in front of strangers, but around some people you open up. When things get tough, you like to meditate alone.” |
But here is my favourite colour personality test of all time. My results change every time I take it (there goes the accuracy), but it’s a lot o’ fun. My results today:
Your Existing Situation
Avoids excessive effort and needs roots, security, and peaceful companionship.
Your Stress Sources
The tenacity and strength of will necessary to contend with existing difficulties has become weakened. Feels overtaxed, worn out, and getting nowhere, but continues to stand her ground. She feels this adverse situation as an actual tangible pressure which is intolerable to her and from which she wants to escape, but she feels unable to make the necessary decision.
Your Restrained Characteristics
Willing to participate and to allow herself to become involved, but tries to fend off conflict and disturbance in order to reduce tension.
Circumstances are restrictive and hampering, forcing her to forgo all joys and pleasures for the time being.
Your Desired Objective
Wants interesting and exciting things to happen. Able to make herself well-liked by her obvious interest and by the very openness of her charm. Over-imaginative and given to fantasy or day-dreaming.
Your Actual Problem
The tensions induced by trying to cope with conditions which are really beyond her capabilities, or reserves of strength, have led to considerable anxiety and a sense of personal (but unadmitted) inadequacy. She attempts to escape into a substitute world in which things are more nearly as she desires them to be.
